Exhibition Opens at Wesleyan
Art Purchase Show One
Of Few Exhibitions in U.S.
The School of Art opened its
Ninth Annuel Purchase Exhibi-tion
Contemporary Paintings on
Sunday, November 20 in the
Main Lounge of Memorial Cen-ter.
The show, which features 32
oil paintings, 29 of which are
from New York art galleries, will
run through December 9.
The exhibition was opened at
3:00 p.m. on Sunday 20, with a
gallery talk by Warren F. Doolit-tie,
Jr.,-professor of art in the
School of Fine Arts at the Uni-versity
of Illinois. Professor Doo-little's
subject was "Problems of
the Contemporary Painter." He
is well qualified to speak on this
subject, as he has had many
exhibits in one-man shows and
competitive and invitational na-tional
exhibitions.
All Paintings For Sale
All of the paintings in the
show are on sale to anyone wish-ing
to purchase, with prices
ranging from $150 to $400. The
paintings have been loaned from
12 New York Art Galleries and
include works of such contem-poraries
as Lechay, one of whose
paintings is among Wesleyan's
permanent collection; Arnest, a
member of the art faculty at the
University of Minnesota; Moy,
an Oriental painter; Berman;
Kinigstein; Bribble; and Sivard,
a French primitive painter.
Many other well-known contem-porary
artists are represented in
the collection to be exhibited.
Wesleyan's annual Art Pur-chase
Show is the only annual
exhibition in the Bloomington-
Normal area which attempts to
present a cross-section of con-temporary
painting. Illinois Wes-leyan
is one of the few Liberal
Arts Colleges in the country
sponsoring such an exhibition
yearly.
Show Open To Public
The public is invited to come
anid view the paintings any time
during the exhibition. Rupert
Kilgore, Director of Wesleyan's
School of Art is in charge of the

'Summer and Smoke,'
Opens December 3
The second dramatic produc-tion
this season, Tennesse Wil-liams,
Summer and Smoke, will
open Friday night, December 2,
3 and 7,8,9,and 10. The show is
under the direction of Barbara
Owens, a senior in the school of
Dramatics and Speech. There
will be faculty aid from Dr.Tuc-ker
and Robert Price. The story
one of William's best, concerns
the ill-fated love affair of two
young people who are never
quite ready for each other at the
same time. Presented in the
small town of Glorious Hill, Mis-sissippi,
"Summer and Smoke
offers a. great contrast in emo-tional
content from the strong
bond between John and Alma,
the conflict between Alma and
Rosa Gonzales to the frank and
aggressive Nellie and the amus-ing,
yet pathetic, Mrs. Winemil-ler.
Notices
All offices in Duration Hall
will be closed every Saturday
morning. The Mail Room will
be kept open until noon so that
the faculty may pick up their
mail.

Dr. R. Leonard Attends Conference,
Hears Methodist Education Plans
Dr. Leonard Chairman
Of Membership Committee
Professor Richard D. Leonard
of the Department of Religion
attended the National Methodist
Conference on Christian Educa-tion
held November 9 through
13 at Cincinnati, Ohio. This con-ference,
meeting every two years,
brings together all field workers,
directors of religious education,
teachers of religion in Methodist
colleges, and staff members of
the National Board of Education,
who study and evaluate deve-lopments
in the whole field of
Christian education and deter-mine
plans and policies of the
Methodist church in the three
aspects of publication of mater-ials,
work in the churches, and
work in the colleges.
Two important programs were
adopted after a great deal of stu-dy
and discussion by the section
of the conference of the college
teachers of religion. One is a pro-gram
of churchmanship training
forlay service in the church for
which certificates will be award-ed
by the national Board of Edu-cation
for work done in a stip-ulated
framework of courses in
the colleges. The other was the
outlining of the program of stu-dy
for pre-theological students
in greater detail than the gen-eral
program suggested by the
American Association Theologi-cal
Seminaries. This will be a
great help in counseling these
students.
Dr. Leonard reports that not
the least of the values of such
a conference is seeing old friends
from all over the nation. Inci-dentally,
he was elected mem-bership
chairman for the sec-tions
of college teachers.
Attention Catholic Students
There will be a meeting of all
Catholic students on November
29, at 7 p.m. in the Faculty
Lounge of Memorial Center.
Please be prompt.
No Argus Next Wednesday
There will be no Argus Novem-ber
30. The first paper after
Thanksgiving vacation will be
December 7. There will be a
meeting of all members of the
Argus Staff Tuesday, November
29. Anyone who wants to attend
the meeting may.
If you have changed your ad-dress
since filling out cards in
the registrar's office, or in reg-istration,
please report the new
address to the registrar's of-fice.
